Well for me neither, the 2016 has plenty of capacity for our current 5th wheel. The 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD we previously had pulled/carried the same 5er with just Camper Special rear suspension, only change was a set of Bilstein shocks.
Many install bags or bump stops to cure bounce, that is the job of shocks. If you have excess squat likely overloaded! Oh, the 2001 was 1,700# over GVWR, and under rear axle by about 200#.
